GAP FILLER AND FLETCHER LIVING

What a privilege to be asked to share the story of the Good Spot car park! Ryan Reynolds and Gap Filler are behind the Good Spot model recognised in 2021 with the  Sustainable Business Network Social Impactor award. It’s an award presented to an organisation that is deliberately and consistently improving people’s lives through its day to day business practices, where social good is integrated throughout the whole organisation. The judges said: “Good Spot is an outstanding application of community-centric problem solving that meets multiple community needs through the innovation and transformation of a sector – car parking. There is genuine meeting of community needs, both through operations and in creating social and environmental outcomes in a hyper-localised way. The model of Gap Filler is inspirational and feels applicable to many other spaces and sectors. Impressive integration of values and honesty shown throughout.”
